Beer
and Your Health

Hasher have always known that the search for the 'beer
check' is a predominant reason to be hashing. Hashing is healthy.
It gets you outside running, or walking. Some running purists
argue that running, and drinking beer, can not go together. However there
is some scientific evidence that beer is a good for hydration, and
that it does not have a high enough concentration of alcohol to induce a
diuretic effect, which spirits do. They argue that the stuff found in beer - the salts, sugars, and bubbles - reenergize the body after a workout, and helps
our body to better absorb
water.
Here are a few articles on the topic of beer and sports. In
summery, moderation seems to be the answer.

"A beer after playing a game of football, a long run, or a strenuous round of golf can be good for the body, scientists say. ... Spanish researchers say beer can help someone who is dehydrated retain liquid better than
water."

"... many runners drink alcohol with no deleterious
effects, but for some it is harmful not just to running
performance but general health as well. The effects of alcohol
and how much alcohol can be safely consumed vary widely between
individuals and depend on the conditions. After a hot weather race, two beers may affect you like a
six-pack."
